I haven't seen them compare you to a fundamentalist (in the American Protestant sense of the term), but if they have done that, then yes, they are stupid in doing so.
Your superstitions are quite different from Protestant superstitions, and deserve their own category.

I don't like it when people direct condescension at me, yet you almost invariably do exactly that. I feel no obligation to be courteous to the rude. If you want decent treatment, you must also mete it out.
